Nan Qing remained where she was.
His face was filled with shock as he looked up at the closed door with his rounded eyes, the corners of his slightly upturned eyes tinged with a smoky pink.
Does Huo Yuzhou have some serious illness?
no--
Why is he calling himself by his own name?!
Nan Qing pondered for a moment, then turned pale with shock.
Nan Qing hurriedly walked out, wishing he could completely forget the noise in the bathroom. He didn't even dare to think about it carefully, his face burning red.
Huo Yuzhou, are you sick?
Nan Qing's head was buzzing, feeling like it was filled with mush, and she was almost numb.
His face flushed, and he instinctively tried to run out the door, but he stumbled and kicked a decorative item, making a soft sound in the air.
The room was eerily quiet, which made the sound all the more distinct.
Sure enough, before he even reached the door, a familiar voice came from the direction of the bathroom.
" Qingqing?"
My Qingqing, you Qingqing!
Nan Qing touched her burning ears, feigning composure.
"It's me!"
"I just came in. Were you taking a shower? I suddenly remembered I have something to do. I'll come back later--"
Without waiting for Huo Yuzhou's reply, he hurriedly pressed the doorknob and went out. The cool air from the wind hit his burning face, and in front of him was an endless expanse of pink rose bushes, with layers of branches swaying in the night breeze.
Nan Qing felt his head starting to spin again.
The butler walked through the rose bushes and looked up to greet him.
He gripped the railing to suppress the urge to scream "Ahhhhhh!" and, with his pretty face flushed, nodded at the other person as if nothing had happened.
The butler's figure slowly walked by, and as soon as the shadow completely disappeared from sight, Nan Qing suddenly covered her cheek.
The temperature of my palms was normal, but the skin on my face was burning hot.
He was fine when his eyes were open, but once he closed them, that deep voice would echo in his head again, calling his name with restraint and longing.
" My Qingqing..."
It still features an immersive surround sound effect from the ultra-high-definition master tape.
Huo Yuzhou wanted to sleep with him.
It's no big deal to take a nap. Huo Yuzhou is handsome and has a good figure; he won't lose out.
But if he wants to take things further and talk about feelings, that would be terrible.
Love is the most unreliable thing; it's the most ephemeral thing that can be blown away with a single breath.
When love is burning bright, everything is wonderful; you'd even give your life for your beloved. But when love cools and returns to normalcy, there's no difference between a pearl and a fish eye.
Or even worse, like his parents—
They are well-matched in social status and make vows of eternal love, wishing that even if mountains crumble and rivers run dry, they would never be separated.
But before he even grew up, their passionate love turned into greasy leftovers on the dinner table, something they couldn't even bear to look at.
Vandalism, verbal abuse, passive-aggressive behavior, threats, catching someone in the act of adultery, infidelity...
In public, they must feign affection and pretend to be a loving couple, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts in banquet halls frequented by celebrities;
Behind their backs, they would attack the other party with the most vicious language, wishing they could grind their teeth, suck blood, and swallow flesh whole.
They brought their new lovers into the house and made love on the bed adorned with their wedding photos.
The nanny covered his ears, but she still couldn't block out the sounds.
Love is the most fragile thing.
Only she, who had witnessed their love, became an eyesore, a burden that reminded them of their distorted relationship, and aroused their disgust.
The night breeze touched her face, and the burning sensation on Nan Qing's face disappeared.
Her jade-like fingers gripped the railing, and beneath her slender, even skin, the pale purple veins became even more prominent with the force she exerted.
The scent of roses wafted on the breeze. Nan Qing exhaled softly, her exquisitely white face reflected in the night, a smile playing on her rosy lips.
Men, it's okay to have some fun.
Let's forget about feelings.
He has nothing left; if he touches something this deadly again, he will be doomed.
-
After calming down on the balcony for a while, Nan Qing trudged back to her room.
When he pushed the door open, Huo Yuzhou was coming out of the bathroom.
The two looked at each other from a distance. No matter how nonchalant Nan Qing pretended to be, she couldn't help but feel her ears getting hot.
He generously smiled at the other person.
"Finished washing?"
Huo Yuzhou paused in his hair-drying motion, a dark interest appearing on his angular face, and even the emotions in his eyes grew deeper.
The loose white bathrobe was held up by a single rope, revealing long, strong muscles as he walked.
A damp mist mixed with a faint scent of ebony wafted over. Huo Yuzhou's figure stopped in front of Nan Qing, his narrow eyes fixed on his face.
"Did you hear that?"
Her voice, slightly hoarse, teased the boy's ear.
Nan Qing feigned composure, her long, thick eyelashes curling upwards, her clear black and white pupils appearing light brown under the lamplight.
Her light golden hair was bathed in a halo of light, and her voice carried a hint of mockery.
"What did you hear?"
Nan Qing smiled like a little fox, her upturned eyes gleaming with cunning.
He even patted Huo Yuzhou on the shoulder, looking like a good brother.
"It's normal, it's not that important, no need to be so nervous. If you're done with your work, then we can go to sleep."
"You're just nervous, Baby."
The man's sudden voice interrupted him, and his tall figure leaned down slightly, closing the distance between them.
Nan Qing's heart skipped a beat, then started pounding again.
"What do I have to be nervous about?"
Feeling somewhat uncomfortable under the man's gaze, the boy rambled on and on, spouting nonsense.
"It's perfectly normal, why are you so nervous?"
The tall shadow fell upon him, Huo Yuzhou bent down, suddenly closing the distance between them.
